Most Outrageous Insurance Frauds, The dead mouse in soup incident
Cracker Barrel once received a complaint from a customer named Carla Patterson. She had found a dead mouse in her soup, thus accusing the restaurant company of violating obvious health regulations. In it for her was $500,000 in insurance money from the restaurant. But when the mouse turned out not to have any soup in its lungs and had not been boiled, Patterson abandoned her claims and received one year in prison.
